Seasons Greetings All you Stovebolt Builders
My 39 STUBBED TOE
I have been going out to the shop most every day & some at nite. Long hours & it's getting cold. My cab is on rollers in the shop & P30 1 ton frame just outside. Frame is to long to get inside & no rear axle under it yet. But things are looking up, I found a rear end today.
In this past week I got most of the paint/rust off the cab's exterior . One more day with my angle grinder sanding disk should do it.
Most all the hanging metal is off, one more door & a few small door sil plates to go.
Also I replaced the front coil springs with air bags this past week. Aired up with wheels & tires up front now.
Today I found a 1 ton rear end & brought it home. It's a late 1980's ford, I won't use it in the end, but I can get the frame off jack stands & rolled up to the garage door, once I have four wheels/tires on board.
Tomorrow I will be cutting the GM wheels center hub hole bigger to mount wheel to ford axle. But that's OK, they are 16.5s & I planned on scraping them anyways. I got the full set for 10-bucks, two with tires. I did need to envest another $15 each for two more junk tires, Owell, I mounted them my self, saved another $10 each. Every body wants my money.
Hopfully by Monday I can give another update on my rear end instalment.
I also took the leaf springs off frame this past week. all except main leaf.
Now to mount rearend & start seting up rear bags... WOOPEE
I can't slow down now, things are just starting to get good.

Car chat means talks about Chevy's. All other car makers only build transportation.
I don't work on my cars, I entertain my self in my garage, so my nabor tells me.
